Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query. I understand your concerns.
Seloken contains metoprolol which is a beta blockers group of antihypertensive.

You don't stop the drug yourself. Check your blood pressure regularly morning and evening. Record the readings. Tell your treating doctor about this.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you
